A Mars plane concept called MAGGIE received early-stage NASA funding for a project starting in May. Its goal is to one day hunt for methane while soaring above the planet.

American space agency NASA is backing a project that aims to create an extreme vertical take-off and landing aircraft for the study of Mars

Bob McDonald's Blog: With the Ingenuity helicopter mission now over, NASA is potentially looking at a robotic fixed-wing aircraft to explore Martian skies next.

NASA has selected a proposal for a solar-powered plane to fly around Mars for further conceptual development. The aircraft would explore the Martian surface while efficiently using energy.

A fully charged battery will allow MAGGIE to travel to travel 111 miles (179 km) at an altitude of jus over half a mile (1,000 metres) - as NASA announces a new solar plane mission around Mars.

Its a compact fixed-wing electric aircraft powered by solar energy to fly in the Martian atmosphere.
